MediaWiki Extensions
Hi,
We're currently having some interesting issues with media
Wiki as part of a vbWiki Pro installation. I've installed numerous third-party mediaWiki extensions for syntax highlighting and none of them work. Other extensions have worked fine, but the common factor among the syntax highlighting is that it requires sections of wiki articles to be surrounded by html tags. These html tags don't translate well. As an example, check out the following wiki text:
Code:
<vbWiki_ShowThreads count="5" />
<source lang="c">
while(1){
i++;
}
</source>
<h6>
Test
</h6>
Attached is a screenshot that illustrates the end result. Since it looks very small, I'll explain. The section between the <source> tag should be color highlighted. Instead, it surrounds half of the text with a "code"-esque box. Here is the extension in question:

Although I might have have improperly installed one extension, the fact that three or four extensions that use the same kind of behavior haven't worked while others that use different mechanisms have leads me to conclude there's some issue with using other kinds of html tags (<something> blah blah </something).
Any ideas?
